Does Orange Juice Produce More Phelgm

Alius Carmen -" Occitan "


Leaving aside the (now annoying?) Rhetoric pro-Occitan, putting aside the grotesque fact that the text was the site of the "movement Young Po ", which continues to have problems of identity, declaring-Celtic-Germanic-Communard Occitan (the hilarious site, which takes pride in its graphics, Alberto da Giussano and Mel Gibson in the role of William Wallace, all topped off with a uncial really out of place), going beyond the 'affaire Ferretti, of which I have already written in another time and another place, it remains a very good poem.


Occitan (Giovanni Lindo Ferretti)

my Beyond the ridge, from which you can see the sea,
autumn and in spring the sun rises the smell of
gardens, the sound of short
a taste of balance, measuring
"mezura" that does not last.

dispirited in the evening between the echoes of pain
and songs of prayer is
L'Occitane, which is still desperate.
Occitan: women, knights, troubadours
the Cathars, the courts of love.

my Beyond the ridge, from which you can see the sea,
autumn and in spring the sun rises
the smell of the gardens, the sound of short
taste balance, measuring
"mezura" that does not last.

Soldiers who ask:
-any Cathar how to distinguish a good Christian? -
Simon de Montfort,
commander of the King included the Pope for the first crusade,
answers: -Kill them all: God recognizes his-
said. Done. Killed them all.
Occitans occis tous.

my Beyond the ridge, from which you can see the sea,
autumn and in spring the sun rises
the smell of the gardens, the sound of short
a taste of balance, measuring
"mezura" that does not last.

The night swallows the evening,
touching the pink, almost lavender
the lily with the cross of Lorraine in Rome
massacres here and commands:
s'osi not live, if no repentance in obedience
indulgence.
Woe to the women they serve
give birth in pain, woe to those who defend
and woe, woe to anyone who surrenders.
Monsegur year 1244.

Occitans occis tous,
Burn the Occitan: older women living dead children
wounded, sick and healthy.

Burn the Occitan!
and still not be much:
it muddy memory,
wrong matter.
The mud is earth,
buds and blooms history

my Beyond the ridge, from which you can see the sea,
autumn and in spring the sun rises
the smell of the gardens, the sound of short
a taste of balance, measuring
"mezura" that does not last.

night swallows the evening
touched the rose, sour honey
women of Israel in their heart dispirited
know that it's bad, bad goes to worse
know already that diaspora
becomes Shoah.

that the crematory ovens are the progress of the fires.
The crematoria are the progress of the fires.

But my side of the ridge, from which you can see the sea,
autumn and in spring the sun rises
the smell of the gardens, the sound of the courts
a taste of balance, measuring
"mezura" that does not last.

dispirited in the evening between the echoes of pain
and songs of prayer is
L'Occitane, which is still desperate.
E 'L'Occitane, which is still desperate.

Annoying addendum: the Italian translation of the song to Cesario that I have reported is quite a slut, being made English. I apologize.

How Long To Defrost Sausages In The Microwave

iudicium -" Caesar, Creator that destroyed "Exordium


The validity of such comic art, so much has been discussed. is widely believed now that it is not half of pure intrattenim ent, but that can compete at both the pictorial side as on the literary and art properly so called.
The case of " Caesar, Creator that destroyed " however, is different. This is not only to prove that the story is deep and complex as a novel, the characters are well characterized and psychologically realistic as it is in great literature, which some found in the drawing boards and skim the outcome of painting traditional and rival the best examples of film director .
"Caesar," now we can say, is a comic book historian, and as such requires a broader reflection on the relationship between fiction and reality: as a work of fiction can be an instrument of knowledge of history? To what extent does delve into history in first person helps understanding of that?
Certainly Fuyumi Soryo , the author has been unable so far extricate himself with precision and verisimilitude in this area.
Yeah, because the author is Japanese, so "Cesare" is a manga . Which complicates the matter even more: what is the perception of Western history, in the eyes of an Oriental? Promotes the freedom to act indiscriminately on historical facts, or induce to act for the detachment from the subject, with philological attention to the sources?
things first.
The series, currently at number 7 arrived in Italy, tells the life and exploits of Cesare Borgia , complex and enigmatic character of Italian Renaissance, seen through the eyes of the ingenuous Angelo Canossa, his fellow student at the University of Pisa. For now it is difficult to imagine where the series will end up with (the author said he wants to create a series of wide-ranging in the order of magnitude of some tens of volumes): The ideas are many, from the gradual layering the character of Caesar, to change the relations of friendship, affection, hatred of protagonists, to the intrigues and conspiracies that pervades political circles Renaissance.
What is certain, and here we return to the vexed quaestio , is that the Soryo non sottovaluta le difficoltà di confrontarsi con la "storia" con la S maiuscola (quella che gli inglesi chiamano history in contrapposizione con la story ); da qui, la scelta di avvalersi di Motoaki Hara , docente presso la Kurashiki Sakuyo University , conoscitore della storia e della cultura dell'Italia medievale e rinascimentale , che cura l'aspetto filologico dell'opera, compito finora svolto egregiamente . Da parte sua, la Soryo è un'esperta conoscitrice art of the beautiful country, has studied the figures and is able to reproduce (or reconstruct ) style.
In short, the final product is excellent, can be included without hesitation in the genre of historical fiction, and perhaps it can also stand out within it, mainly for one reason: the intention informative. In fact, the entire work is studded with notes in the margins on all those facts and aspects that the reader Eastern Europe (but also Western Europe) may have difficulty in understanding, so the comic becomes a test of popular social and political history of the Renaissance , a handbook of Italian art of the '400, a ' introduction to the culture of the period. All this, together with boards, glossaries and, unbelievable, a brief but very valuable bibliography (intended, of course, the Japanese public, although many titles are Italian). The focus narrative, centered on the character of the young Angelo, promotes teaching reading: Angelo, naive and humble guy, out of the intrigues of the time and the aristocratic society , as he discovers, along with the player, the environment in which he lives, its mysteries and its beauty.
So, to answer the original question, yes, comics can be a tool for know the history, so perhaps more subjective and emotional than the traditional methods , but for this more effectively. Then when the product is philologically careful, well-written, well designed and very valuable edition (good Star Comics !), As is the case for "Caesar", one can not help but applaud genius Japanese.

Where To Buy Hooch Snuff




For days, months, years, often do not write.
Sometimes, perhaps, one looks shyly on a spreadsheet, you scribbles something, then deletes itself.
One morning a false spring, however, in their pajamas, after three coffees, it can happen that you take courage and invent a new blog (for these things, soups heating does not work. We must start again, close and reopen , tabula rasa ).

The uncertainty is such that I use all impersonal verbs. Come on, a little 'balls.

Should I take a shower, make money the day, but its role is largely inept far more interesting.

Yes, I admit, I missed writing a few words and then delete them immediately to find more appropriate. And read everything every thirty seconds. And realize that no row. And start over.
I just hope I do not find myself once again to close all angry, and delete all traces of me and blog.

I take a shower, fuck.

Not to mention the pleasure of using swear words. With ease. Maybe this time I do not cancel everything. Here, this new platform for blog automatically saves everything, every time. Maybe the anger will not have won.
I feel pretty stupid writing this post . But one has to start somewhere.
